AI Generates Sanitised Rewilding Landscape Images
Two geographers at the University of Aberdeen recently analyzed images generated by AI chatbots (Gemini, ChatGPT, Copilot) when prompted to depict rewilded Britain. They found models typically produce similar, sanitized 'polite' landscapes—open meadows, distant hills, and tame animals—while omitting messy processes, people, and contentious species; ecological realism appeared only with highly specific, expert prompts. This bias could shape public expectations and complicate acceptance of real-world rewilding projects.
Scoring Rationale
Relevant empirical study reveals dataset-driven sanitization of AI images, but reliance on a single research effort limits broad generalization.
